1. Start With Custody and Security

  • Hardware wallet: cold storage for long-term holds.
  • 2FA + passphrases: never reuse secrets; store recovery safely.
  • Beware approvals: revoke dApp permissions you no longer use.

How to act

  • Buy a reputable hardware wallet and test a small restore.
  • Create a clean “hot” wallet for daily use; keep long-term funds cold.
  • Bookmark official links; avoid search-ad phishing.

Tip: If someone rushes you, it’s a scam. Real opportunities survive scrutiny.

2. Build a Boring, Diversified Starter Portfolio

  • DCA approach: fixed amount weekly, regardless of price.
  • Blue-chip bias: stick to assets with liquidity and years of uptime.
  • Position sizing: small bets for experiments; never all-in.
